What "classification" does that fall under? Looks like part autocross, rally cross and street racing? Looks damn fun though, the first one is killer, what a driver.....thanks!

We call it "dexterity" racing...lol.

Dexterity = Skill and grace in physical movement, especially in the use of the hands

Mental skill or adroitness; cleverness.

Dude....trust me...once you see it in person..it rocks!

Well, you see...we were colonized by the Brits back in the day and that's how we started getting those cars...and on and on and on. Yeah...I learned to drive a RHD car when I was younger...it freaked me out man...lol.

And don't refer to Japenese as 'Japs'....I'm not Japanese, but I do find that a bit offensive....as I have close Japanese friends...they really dislike that 'term'.

And it's JAMAICA....

Well...you never know...look at the drifting "scene" here in the states now. Ppl have been doing drifting since the 80's i believe. All it takes is some planning and a following to kick things off. I'd like to find some old, run down property w/a decent surface to do something like this....you're damn right...it's fun as hell. And imagine...this stuff occurs YEAR-ROUND down in the islands man....we have the perfect weather!
